Some of the best gluten free pancakes I've had! Even the non gf bf loved them. His crab cakes were awesome and gf. Gf bread available too. The guy taking orders asked if we were celiac or gf too. Not a common thing. I highly recommend!

So happy to find this place! Ordered the crab cake platter since they are so hard to find GF and it was terrific. The conversation with Roland was priceless. I wish I was in town a bit longer so i could try the other GF offerings.

Went here TWICE the day before I left town. The pancakes and the crab cake Pinot were great. It was the first crab cake in 6 years, and oh my god it was divine. Not only that - the staff is friendly and personable, too. Highly recommend!

Awesome place to eat. No fuss from the staff at all about me being a celiac. Bread and pancakes are out of this world. Love the fact I didn't have to worry about being sick and enjoying flavorful food.

Gluten free crab cake was excellent! Had a delightful conversation with one of the proprietors Mr. Lazard. Also serve GF pancakes and po'boys! Mr. Lazard's sister has gotten into healthy eating and there is no white flour used in anything they make! Also have Vegan options. They do have regular bread available, but seem to be totally aware of cross contamination.

Right in the French Market. Adorable little place with great GF options. We were really challenged to find gluten free choices in the Big Easy - not only did they have the most, but it was the best food we had the whole trip! We went back several times.

Very good and friendly service. Not fancy at all, but our family sat at a table in the market and enjoyed people watching. My daughter and I enjoyed the GF crab cake and poached egg. My son said the GF pancakes were the best he has ever eaten, GF or non-gf.

Came here with my brother (also celiac). We were both very excited after all the amazing reviews and this was going to be his first po-boy. Got the crab cake po-boys and paid through the nose for them. We were both sick within the hour, despite being very specific about our needs and the fact that we were there because they were so well known as gf friendly. I'm glad others had good experiences, but you couldn't pay me to go back. So sick!!

Great place for Celiacs and other dietary needs
This a fantastic place for safe, delicious and low fat gluten free food. Many many thanks to Roland Dusette ( who helps his sister run this place).

Saw this place on a blog and had to go for the crab cake po'boy. Delicious! Plenty of gluten-free options and the service was incredibly friendly. Small place though. Recommend sitting at the tables rather than at the main counter. Otherwise you'll have people squeezing through on either side to order/pay.

I didn't give it 5 stars because it's a $1 extra for anything gluten free. I ordered the crab cake (single) & 1 bottle of water my total was $12.44. I'm a visitor here and I'm really tired of the gluten free up charge

Absolutely the best! I ate here several times on a business trip with no problems. The food is delicious and they are very gluten aware. Got to try most items on the menu and everything was so good. Made to order, gotta wait a few, but its so worth it. In the French market, to die for!!

Located in the French market. Food is good, freshly made. I was excited to be able to try a gluten free po-boy. Down fall was that it was on gluten free sandwich bread instead of a roll. All in all the food was good, staff is friendly.

Very knowledgeable about gluten. Very careful. Nice staff who cares about your health. Ate there twice and never got sick. The only gluten free gumbo I found in New Orleans. It was great. The chicken Po-boy was good, not great. But worth eating for you're having trouble finding safe options.

The owners knows about cross-contamination and took good care of me. Got the pancakes for breakfast. Was so good. Extensive choice for breakfast lunch and dinner. Inexpensive. If you like eating in a market, go there !

I have celiac disease, so eating out when we travel is a challenge. I found this restaurant on my app and was well worth the mile walk from our hotel!! The blueberry pancakes, crab cake with poached egg, and the tilapia tacos were amazing!! The service was excellent as well!! I highly recommend this restaurant when visiting New Orleans if you have a gluten allergy or just want to eat healthy!! I wish I could take them back to NC!! ;-)

We had a fantastic & safe GF experience at Meals From The Heart while visiting The French Market. From GF pancakes, GF omelette, GF grits, GF gumbo, to GF crab-cake poboys with remoulade, our tastebuds were delighted and our tummies full. I can't wait to come back here my next visit. Fair warning: they only accept cash & there's limited seating.

I would highly recommend this delicious cafe that offers wholesome and healthy dishes, in a warm and friendly atmosphere. I had the gluten free blueberry pancakes. They were delicious and among the best I've had! The owner is a warm lovely person that cares about serving good food. Side note: The cafe is located in the French market, it is not a stand alone restaurant.

The ingredients were fresh, but the food was pretty bland. We had the tilapia po boy and the okra gumbo. It also came with veggies and potatoes that were cooked well but again the season was lacking. The upside is that it is a very healthy meal.

Great gluten free pancakes and crab cakes! It was a little slow and they made the pancakes wrong the first time around, but the owner came and apologized and then comped the pancakes for us. This is an awesome gluten free option in the French Market!

We had a challenging time finding safe g-free restaurants in NOLA for my celiac daughter. We found this restaurant and loved that she could have traditional New Orleans foods...like gumbo, po'boys, crab cakes, etc. It's in a cool open market with lots of options for non g-free folks too. It's worth the walk!

I found nola to be very tough to find gluten free food or even servers who were understanding of gluten free. Meals from the heart was a blessing from heaven!! Everyone working there was friendly and helpful. There was a wait for my food but I think it's worth it to get something you feel safe eating and it was delish. Blueberry gf pancakes are the best!!!

amazing gluten free crab cakes! you have to try the poboy its worth the money and the calories. great blueberry pancakes too

Yummy blueberry pancakes and cheddar grits. They were super sweet and very concerned with how sensitive my celiac disease is. I love the food, the people and location. Definitely visit this location for a safe, economical gf meal!

Thought it would be so hard to find a great GF place to eat but this place was to die for!! The staff was so great and the food was amazing! One day we went two times! The pancakes were delicious and the turkey burger was great as well! The family who works here are so welcoming as well. If I'm in NOLA again I will be back!

Healthy AND scrumptious in The Big Easy?! You bet!! This place is hands down one of the best places to eat even for non-gluten intolerant friends. They also have vegetarian and vegan options which for me (a big meat eater) were extraordinary! The raw beet and avocado salad was very filling. The gluten free pancakes were a wonderful treat since I've never found a restaurant that makes them. And the crab cakes made with fresh crab were to die for! They were by far the best I and my friends had ever had. If you are gluten intolerant this place is a must on your list of places to eat in Nola. Your non-GF friends won't mind eating here either!

Excellent gluten free food! Very friendly and polite staff. I recommend this outdoor cafe to anyone with special &/or healthy food needs. We are going back again!
